Type of chocolate???
 

I read an article (will post link if I can find it) that said that more people like dark chocolate over milk chocolate. I prefer dark chocolate and always get the special dark minitures from the bag.

I found this "fact" really surprising because I don't know anyone, besides me, who prefers dark chocolate over milk. The more bitter the better, in my book.

What kind do you prefer and do you have a particular brand that you enjoy?

Dark is good. Some of the Lindt single-country bars are very good (I don't care for their regular 70% bar, it has too much of a vanilla note). Valrhona makes some good ones if you can find them and they haven't been mistreated in shipping/storage. Scharffen-Berger is surprisingly good. Trader Joe's carries some Venezualan chocolate which is very good as well.

Dark is definitely bestest ... I do like the lindt, and enjoy the Hershey's Special Dark, even though I know it's not high quality dark chocolate. I really like the Ghirardelli Dark, the one the contains no milk products and is listed "for baking and eating" on the wrapper. I've had some unlabelled bulk dark from Fresh Fields that was quite yummy.

Dark Milky Way... Mmmmm... :yum:

I don't like the creamy nougat in those.

MILK MILK MILK chololate. Blech on dark chocolate. My hands down favorite is Ghirardelli, but Hershey's Symphony and Cadbury make pretty durn good cheap milk chocolate. I love eastertime when Cadbury brings out their candy eggs, I eat them like nobody's business. I only use milk choc chips in my cookies too, so there :) In general, I don't like bitter anything. My sweet tooth is T-Rex sized. There should be a poll on this, but I've never done one.

Wow, you could have written that for me.

Though I do like the creamy nougat as well.

I suspect that the popularity of milk chocolate is fuelled by the major candy companies. Milk chocolate is cheaper, so they put it in all of thir products, so people think that's the way chocolate is supposed to taste, and dark chocolate tastes wrong.

There's only 2 kinds of chocolate.
1- mine
2- ours
:lol:

I never was one for chocolate chocolate, I prefer white chocolate. I know it's not actually considered chocolate but it is made much the same way as regular chocolate. The only kind I don't like is the cheap stuff that's usually sold around Easter time. I think it's made with vegetable fat instead of real cocoa butter and tastes kind of waxy compared to the good creamy, more expensive stuff.

404, there is good easter candy.

Godiva makes bunnies. :)

I prefer milk chocolate, i've never been one for deep rich chocolate.... End up making me sick.

"Type of Chocolate"---ANY!~ :yum:

Count me in for white chocolate. Any kind at all. I cannot eat real chocolate anymore and even have trouble with Ovaltine. Cocoa makes me..uh.... unpleasant to be around.

Kinda like fine cigars hehehe

Dark chocolate , as the gods ( Myan or Aztec ??) intended !!!!!
No dairy involved !!!

I've never met a variety of chocolate I didn't like. My favorite time of year around here is any time when assortment packages of mini choco bars end up here in the house. My wife detests dark chocolate, so I get it *all*. Yowza!
